Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM)
The badminton federation in Malaysia
The Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) was established on 11 November 1934 in Kuala Lumpur, originally as the Badminton Association of Malaya. It is registered with Malaysia's Sports Commissioner under the Sports Development Act 1997 and is recognised by the Badminton World Federation, Badminton Asia and the Olympic Council of Malaysia. Headquartered at the Akademi Badminton Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur, BAM operates through a council, committees and administrative divisions, coordinating state affiliates, national senior and junior squads (coaches and players), coach education, and international and national tournament sanctioning; it also runs anti-doping/integrity programmes aligned with WADA and the BWF.
